Poe's Law

If you’ve never heard of it, there’s a “law” out there called Poe’s Law which states:

Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is uttrerly [sic] impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won’t mistake for the genuine article. (link)

Which brings us to today’s link. Props to Annie who alerted us to this article over twitter.

Michelle Obama is a man!

People are just crazy. It’s unfortunate that so many of them reside in the fundamentalist sector.

    At least being able to lump so many of them in a group like “fundamentalists” makes it easier to keep track of them. Sheesh, racism is so 1960’s. I’m tired of it. 🙁

    Lol, those comments were a riot. I can’t help but wonder how many of the commenters were “in on the gag” and just playing the part of crazed liberal, just to keep the ball rolling.

    As a parody site though they do seem to go quite a bit over the top, That Michelle Obama entry was the tamest thing on the website. I can’t believe it gets so many comments without people seeming to realize the parody.
